Για να μην αρχίσω ότι όποιος δεν έχει facebook account δεν πρέπει να ασχολείται με την τεχνολογία...Αμάν ρε Αλέξανδρε. Του πατάς 2 κάλους μαζί. Είπαμε, apple σκέτη κάπως καταπίνεται, αλλά και AMD μαζί?![]()

The Bad
- Impossibly quiet operation, even under load.
- Power consumption at both idle and full load is amazingly low.
- Space-saving design is a marvel of engineering.
- Dual D700 OpenCL scores are incredible.
- A good upgrade over previous Mac Pros for poorly multithreaded programs.
- PCIe SSD is exceptionally fast.
- Thermal temperatures are safely in spec for extended workstation-style usage and GPU operations.
- Good pricing for workstation-class GPU options.
- Affordable relative to similar configs offered by competing workstation vendors.
- CrossFire enabled in Boot Camp so you can get very good gaming speeds.
The Ugly
- Drivers are to blame for some very low OpenGL results for the FirePro D700 in OS X.
- Reliance on external devices for PCIe expansion increases cost and has some short-term compatibility implications for some.
- Lack of Nvidia GPU option and CUDA problematic due to Apple's lackluster OpenCL developer support.
- If mid-life GPU upgrade kits aren't offered for these machines, they will age badly for 3D and OpenCL work.
- Despite the FirePro logo in the Windows AMD Catalyst utility, GPUs appear as Radeons in Boot Camp, so it's not recommended for Windows pro apps unless a FirePro driver becomes available for these GPUs.
- Lack of dual-socket CPU options means that the 8-core Xeon E5 v2 gets the same multithreaded CPU performance as the mid-priced dual-CPU Mac Pro from 2010. It's bested badly by more recent dual CPU workstations, even for the 12-core.
- If you are using programs that are poorly multithreaded throughout, then an iMac is frequently a better option due to faster clock speeds.
